THE LEGISLATURE MEETS !ljext Wednesday the Georgia legislature and sen ate meet and after both houses are organized Gover- ndPIIardwick will deliver his farewell message and Governor-elect Clifford Walker (will he sworn in as thie state’s chief executive. ;JJje coming session of (he legislature should be an important one; there is much work cut out for the btjjfljr of lawmakers that convenes Wednesday and the 1 people of Georgia would like for this legislature-to get down to work without any frills and foolishness and. accomplish something—something in the early daiyV*of the session without waiting until the closing hours and having the minutes clogged with bills that apt disposed of in a helter-skelter .fashion regardless oCStjfeir merit. ®le tax question without a doubt will be the ques tion of super-importance at this session and if the legislative body will appoint in the first days of its life/a commission of representative members to work rjjn acceptable plan and agree to oe guided in the ' by the recommendations of this committee much e accomplished .towards settling this momen- question. io things are very evident in connection with the lion legislation: First something should be done ieve the present situation in the state and second, is going to be a fi(.ht on whatever system is ised. Almost as many remedies as there are ers of the legislature will be proposed and un- lere is sojnu concerted action for a measure will carry th6 best system with the least amount iction there is little hope of anything being ac- lished along this line. e repeal of the present equalization law will be tor of the session while there will be special proposed on many articles of commerce, such as ine, oils, automobiles, drinks and the like. The e .tax adherents will be there while there will e those who" believe in letting the law stand as without any change whatever.- ivernor Walker has been making a close study’of sws in other states of the Union since his election it is hoped that ho has Evolved a plan that will out to be both just and sufficient to meet the cments of the budget of the state. Wha. he say in his message will have great weight on ' ion the legislature takes and the people of te are hopeful that he will offer a definite pcceptable plan. , ' any rate, no matter what is accomplished along ine, the public in tired of legislative sessions spend about forty-five of the fifty days wrang- and hot airing, leaving about five days for work “iese five days at the very last when bills are or passed haphazardly.

Prac- lly every club in Georgia will have representatives i to britig messages and outlines of the course : to those who are unable to attend.' . any eminent speakers have been secured for the ram and every phase of club activities will be hed upon. peaking of the course Mrs. H-iys, president of The gia Federation of Women’s Clubs, says: ; is to be a wonderful opporunity for club women I am so anxious that we go. Ev erything has been nged for our Club Course, for our comfort and our pleasure and the only other requisite is our cnee.
